"So I heard you Went on a date with Danger last weekend", Laura stated. I could swear she's been wanting to talk about it the very moment she saw me. "Yeah", I said moving over to the other side of the boutique so she wouldn't talk about it again. But she followed. "Helicopter date huh?, that's cute", she chirped in again. "Yeah it was ". "I mean it's cute but I would never became like, I'm supper scared of heights", she said again. Bitch I don't care. "Oh ... okay" "Yeah, so did you have fun?". "Yeah I did", I said picking a by green lacy dress that looked so gorgeous. "Oh Danger doesn't like that color, I wore it one time and he said I looked like a twig", she said laughing. "Oh really? because that's kinda the color of the dress I wore to the date last week, which he got for me ", I stated. Laura looked shocked, she tried to maintain composure. "Oh... oh wow", she tried not to scoff, "That's, that's so surprising, I could have sworn he called me a twig when I wore som
I placed my hands on my head and sighed.I turned to Luther, he was busy doing stuffs on his Laptop not even caring about what is going on here."Now you listen the fuck to me you piece of shit", Laura started."I can tolerate anyone in the world, I can tolerate Ivy, but you? hell no. So if you know what's good for you, pick your ass up, remove that bastard in your womb and get the fuck out of here before I make you disappear with no traces"."Are you threatening her?", her other friend started."Well what else does it look like I'm doing?"."Look I've been taking care of myself for the past 8 months all alone , and there is no way I'm gonna take care of this child alone, so you better be ready to be a daddy Luth-""Don't fucken call me that", Luther said looking at her calmly.She immediately regained her composure."Now Tasha, I get it, you're pregnant and you're broke and you're looking for money, I'll give you $5000 cheque, go make a life out of it and stop disturbing me with this
"What's going on in your head?", he asked calmly.I shrugged, "Uhm, I don't know, a lot"."Ivy she's not carrying my child", he stated."And if she is?", I asked.He sighed and rolled his eyes, "If it's ever possible, it means I was raped in my sleep", he said sarcastically."I don't know", I mumbled scratching my arm."Listen you have-"He was interrupted by a knock on his door, it was Ben."The emergency meeting you called for earlier, with the district staffs; they're here", he stated.He turned to me and then back to Ben."Alright then , bring them in", he said and Ben left."We'll have this conversation later", he said and I stood up and went back to my room.I shut the door and sighed and crashed to the ground.I just knew it, nothing good can ever last this long.But then again, I'm not suppose to feel anyway. Luther can have as much women as he wants.He's not my boyfriend or my real fiancee or even my husband, he's my soon to be baby daddy.Nothing too special.I'll just have
LAURA * * My life is falling apart in a million ways. And I can't do anything about it sadly. First I have to put up with pretending to like Ivy and now that son of a bitch is claiming to be carrying Luther's child. Like what is wrong with this man? is he deliberately trying to anger me? I pull up in front of a club. "Hi ma'am", the friendly bouncer says. "Is Blu in?", I asked. "Yes ma'am", he says and let me in. I walk straight to the VIP table and sit my ass down and sighed then I ordered two bottles of whiskey. "Is it me or do you reek of annoyance", Blu said walking over to the table. She was the owner of the Club, it was a women only strip club. "Annoyance is the least things I reek of, talk about rejection and hate", I said. "It is and Danger?", she asked sitting beside me. "Yess, Gosh I'm trying to tolerate his little shitty fiancee and this girl walks into his office the other day saying she's pregnant for him". Blu starts laughing, hard! "Bitch you're joking
Four weeks had passed and uhm, I can't say things have been normal.For some reason, Luther has gotten distant again. He disappears almost everyday and comes home late and barely even talks to me.I mean I would have thought work, but then this sick thought in my head kept telling me that he was going to See Tasha all the time..And I mean that's not suppose to be a problem because, she's pregnant right? and she might be carrying his child right? it's okay that he goes to check up on her but this regularly that he doesn't even talk to me?And before you ask why I'd think of that, Tasha has never showed up again after that night, ever! and if she's coming around it means she's not getting Luther, but now that she isn't coming around anymore what do you want me to think?Although she left the house that night in a creepy way and said some creepy things but in all honesty I'm still convinced he's seeing her.Am I jealous? what no of course not, I mean why will I be jealous the Luther is
I was standing in front of my mirror looking at my self, I kept on touching my neck to be sure what happened a few hours ago was real.His long nails had dug deep into my skin that it left bruises there. The skin around there was redMy room door opened and my mother walked in."Honey what happened, you said it was an emergency"I pointed at my neck.She looked closely at it, "What happened... looks like someone tried to strangle you, who did this?", she asked examining it."Luther", I said suppressing my rage.She looked at me slowly, "What?"."Luther strangled me in his house today."What?", I could hear the shock and anger in her voice."Why? why would he? I mean what the fuck?""First of all, I said something about the Cowper family being dangerous which scared Ivy""It's always that bitch, it's always her!", she said getting ready pissed."Second of all, he claims that I killed Tasha even after he instructed me not to", I said again."Oh Honey you didn't kill her, I did", she sai
"Sorry but we can't let you in ma'am"."You're joking, go In there and tell Danger that I want to see him""You're no longer allowed to come in here ma'am".I groaned loudly.I've been standing in front of this place for more than 25 minutes, and these people keep telling me that Danger ban me from coming to his house.Ben showed up and sighed."Ben please tell me this is a joke", I said."It's not"."So now he's angry with me? because what he thinks I killed some bitch and I scared Ivy? that's enough reason to cut off someone who literally built him brick by brick.? Ben open this fucken door", I said.He signaled them to open the gate and they did, I started marching inside when he pulled me back."He's in a very subtle mood, please do not say anything to anger him any further than he is, cuz I'm telling you that he will kill you, no jokes", I rolled my eyes and took my hands back and marched into the house.Ivy was in the living room."Hey", she said.I ignored her and went straight
LUTHER *It's sickening when I think about the fact that Laura is right, everything she said last week was the truth and it was haunting me, haunting me so badly.What's going to happen when Ivy finds out about my family? You know initially I don't really care because I never thought to keep her, but now the thought of letting her go is scaring me and the thought of loosing her, the thought of her dying because of me is haunting me.I nearly lost my shit when I found out that Jennifer died, I didn't even care about her as much as I cared about Ivy and it killed me, I can't imagine what's going to happen if anything happens to Her, I can't, I'll loose it completely.I summoned courage and walked into her house.She was in the living room sipping a glass of champagne in her white robe and her damp hair.Honestly, Laura was a beautiful woman, but I just couldn't bring myself to being attracted to her."What brings the Lion to the Antelopes home", she said casually and laid on the couch.
IVY *Amber's calls to check up on me every single day, he has gotten more security around my house and they follow me everywhere. He has assured me that I have nothing to be afraid of, and for some reason I believed him.I had no idea what was going on and I couldn't trust anyone, not even the ones that tell me to trust them. I can only trust my family because I know they want what's best for me.I'm so grateful to God I found Amber, I don't know what I would have done without him.It was Saturday evening and I was making some lasagna when one of the security informed me that I had a guest."Who is it?".Because I'm definitely not expecting to meet anyone today."It's Don Danger Madam".Oh shit Luther.I sighed."Let him in", I said and grabbed my knife.Few seconds later, he came in to the kitchen.He relaxed on the door and smiled at me."I love how you're so security conscious now, it's cute", he said."Well I don't trust anyone so...""And why do you think I'd hurt you? clearly
LAURA**My room door flew open and Martins sister barged in."Are you out of your fucken mind?", I yelled dropping my gun that I was ready to use on her"I'm supposed to be asking you that question, why are you working with my brother to take down Luther and put Ivy's life in danger, do you have any idea the kind of risk you're taking?", she asked.Trust me princess, I know how crazy it sounds.But I can't let you know I do."That's your brothers idea and none of mine"."Laura, clearly you have to be smarter than this, bringing Owen down is possible, very easy, but not Luther, not him!"."I'm just heading to his instructions princess, so go and lay your complains on him"."Gosh, you have no idea what you're doing, come with me!", she yelled pulling me out of the bed and dragging me downstairs."Bitch what the fuck?".She ignored me and pulled me downstairs.My mother and Martins were there.Disgusting."I need three of you to please listen to me. You are making the biggest mistake o
LAURA **Gosh, Ivy makes saving her life a lot harder! I thought I asked this bitch not to come back until I say so??And why the fuck is Martins attempting to blow up her house if he's trying to use her as a bait to get to Luther? what the fuck is wrong with all these people?Luther called me to please help him check up on Ivy since I was in Miami and he wasn't.Ivy had to move to one of her estates to stay there cuz it was a lot safer and all.Something she would have done from the beginning instead of living in that shitty neighborhood.I mean she's a manger of one of the biggest accounting firm, what was she thinking?Sigh.When I got to the gate, I had to go through series of security check and drop all my guns at the entrance before they let me in."Bitch I thought I made it very clear that you should not come back to the United States until I told you to", I raged immediately I got inside."Oh my God Laura, please, how could you have expected me to trust you when you're not e
The wedding was over, had a lot of drama to be honest. Amber pranked Lexy to think he got kidnapped to keep her busy so they could do a royal wedding. Yes an actual royal wedding in a castle.Now the reality had kicked in, I need to go back to Miami. I've tried reaching Laura but she's been unavailable.I don't even know if I should be trusting her, she has never given me a reason to trust her, ever, so why should I believe her this time?I asked Amber about it and, he said he spoke to Luther and the only thing odd that had happened was Owen dying. Amber said he asked Luther if I was safe now that he was back in the game and Luther said I was, that there's nothing out of the ordinary happening right now.He's just trying to find Owen's killers.Amber told Luther about the people that came to my house that evening and investigation was carried out and apparently, there was a Halloween party happening down the street and some teenage boys did mess around the neighborhood that evening.I
"What?""Yeahh, I've been hearing rumors of it, but I didn't think it was true, I was doing low-key investigations though, didn't want to tell you about it because I didn't want you to feel insecure or anything"."Amber, my house was surrounded by armed men few days ago, they left immediately they realized I was watching them and one of them gave me a sign that he was going to kill me, of course I'm going to be insecure about it.""Are you serious? why didn't you let anyone know?"."I called the police, they said they'll be high on alert, plus I told my boss and he said I could stay in one of his private houses until everything cleared up"."Ivy you need to be careful, okay? I don't know what's going on in particular and why they're after you but I'm going to contact Luther and let him know".Then I remembered what Laura had said."No no ... don't tell Luther, don't "."Why not?"."I don't think I can trust him anymore, I don't think I can trust anyone at the moment "."Ivy it's Luthe
IVY **I was scared as fuck, but Laura didn't look like she was playing when she told me to get into the car. I would have refused honestly, but two days ago, I spotted suspicious activities around my house, and I haven't been sleeping there at all. I told my boss about it and he said I could be staying in one of his private houses for a while until everything had cleared up.I only got back today to get more of my clothes and make dinner and leave.Now We're in front of the airport. "Laura you need to calm the fuck down and talk to me, what's going on? the last time you said I was unsafe being around the Cowper's and two days ago, some men with weapons surrounded my house surveying the place until I had to call the police, so please, you need to tell me what is going on".She looked at me for what looked like hours."Go to this side of the airport, you'll see a Cowper airplane, it's a private jet, tell them you're Ivy Cowper, unfortunately they know you with that name, they'll con
LAURA*Martins slammed my head in the desk, choking me tightly and I swear he was going to kill me.What is with these Cowper men and always choking me?"Martins, please", I begged."You fucken told Ivy to about me? are you out of your god-damn mind? are you insane!", he barked."You're choking me... please stop", I begged running out of breath."Do you know you're sabotaging our entire plan!", he screamed."Martins let her go I'll deal with it", My mother said coming from the kitchen with a bottle of champagne.He looked me dead in the eyes with fury and then slammed my head on the table again and let me go.I collapsed on the floor, breathless. I had a cut close to my eye brow, I was bleeding."Mom... you just sat there and watched him almost kill me?", I sobbed.What is this woman turning into? isn't she the same person that swore she'll always have my back?"If we're being honest, if you weren't my daughter I'd instruct him to kill you. Why would you do that? Ivy is clearly the o

The internal struggle is something else. Confusion, fear, more confusion.I've been so off lately even my boss noticed it.It's the conversation I had with Laura.I know Laura is usually always scaring me and threatening me, but this one wasn't a threat it was a warning.Plus Owen died, and Laura is not looking herself at all. There's so much going on, and I don't know how I'm roped into any of this.This is the exact reason why I ran away in the first place.I got back from work later that night and I was so tired, I just wanted to get into bed and sleep, but I noticed my front door was slightly opened.My heart started beating fast.I pulled out a pocket knife from my bag and walked in slowly.Immediately I got in, I turned the lights on to find who it was leaving the door open so I can run out anytime I wanted to.It was Martins.Usually, I would have relaxed but from what Laura just told me? I can't trust anybody."What are you doing here? how do you have access to my house?", I
